net expenses from Jan. L, 1887. to June
30. 1887. Tho estimate submitted for the
current fiscal year was 50, 900. MT. Sparks
asks for $500 additional for salaries in the
office Of the surveyor general of Minnesota.
The estimate for clerks in the Office
WAS REDUCED
from $3. 900 to SO, 900 by the act of July
81, 1886, which is regarded as insufficient.
The Montana surveys call for 50, 500 addi-
tional in the deficiency bill The act of
July 81, 1856, appropriated $4,000 for
clerk hire in the Office of the surveyor
general. The outstanding surveying con-
tracts aggregate S23 $50 and the preparation
OF the requisite transcripts of field
notes and plats of surveys will
involve time and labor. The appropriation
OF 50, 600 is insufficient for the prompt dis
patch of the office work and additional ap-
preparation of S2 500 is deemed necessary
for the rest of this fiscal year. Surveyor
General Greene, of Montana, reports in
regard to this salary question that the ap-
portIonment of $50, 600 for field work in
his district was not available until Dec. 2S,
1880. Contracts payable from that appro
prlatlon were let so late in the year that it
was impossible to complete the field work
before the close of the year. In addition
to the appOrtionment
A SPECIAL CONTRACT
with George t. Lampoir of So, 500, was
made for the survey of lands on the Tongue
and Rosebud rivers. On the 30th of June,
1886, the appropriation of 50, 900 for clerk
hire in this office lapsed, and the appropria-
ton for clerk hire was only So, OO0 or suf-
ticient to pay the salary of the chief clerk
and one draughtsman. In consequence of
delay in letting contracts and the small
appropriation for clerk hire, the Montana
surveyor general is confronted with the re-
turns OF thirteen contracts, aggregating
$23, $50 liability, with virtually only
funds sufficient to pay one draughts-
man to work under contracts.
Besides the foregoing an additional con-
tract of 81, $50 for the survey of the frac-
tional boundary lines Of the Flathead In
dian reservation is now in course of adver-
tisement. Many of the deputy surveyors
having contracts have borrowed money at
the current rate of per cent. per month to
keep their parties in the field. They have
secured contracts by competitive bids. and
had the fact been known that they would
have to wait an indefinite period even be-
fore the Office could submit their returns for
action, Mr.. Green says he is sure it would
have had a great influence on the previous
bids.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-If the resolu-
tion which Senator German has introduced
in the senate, and Perry Belmont in the
house, to apply the lex talionis to Canada
as penalty for the persistent refusal Of the
Dominion authorities to allow free transit
for American fishing vessels through Cana
dian waters, should pass it would seriously
affect the commerce of the Northwest,
especially of Duluth. The effect of the
resolution is to prohibit the transit through
the United States of all shipments of goods
from one point to another in Canada either
in cars or in vessels. The resolution pro-
poses to invest the president of the United
States with the power to prohibit commerce
of this sort simply by his proclamation and
instructions to customs officers on the
border. There is no question that this re-
taliation is unjustitiable. In time of war it
might be advisable, and would be sustained
by the principles of International law, but
in time of peace it cannot be justified by
any process of reasoning or any citation
of precedent A year ago, it will be re-
membered, there was a great deal of dis
turbance caused by the abrOgotion of that
article of the Washington treaty a ship
ment in foreign bottoms of articles to pass
through from one port in the United States
to another through Canada. 1t took some
time Tor commerce to settle itself to the
new condition. The abrogation of the
treaty on this branch of the trade restored
to effect the provisions of the old shipping
laws, and under these. of course, Canadian
ships were barred from transporting Amer
lean products of wheat, lumber and iron
of Minnesota and Dakota down the lakes,
partly by ship and partly by rail, to United
States ports. Several evasions of the law
were proposed but they were not practical
ones. Ii the German resolution should
pass it would seriously effect shipments be-
tween the Dominion and Manitoba, and
would in all probability result in similar
retaliation on the part Of the Dominion
authorities which would in time bar all
transportation between the United States
ports across Canadian soil.
